Despite being international teammates, Martinez and Fernandez are competing at club level for a Champions League spot. Chelsea currently sit fourth on 49 points, while Villa are ninth with 45 points as the race for Europe heats up.

Fernandez has been a standout performer for Chelsea, stepping up as captain at times despite the team's inconsistency this season. The Blues’ last hope for silverware lies in the Conference League, while Unai Emery's Villa are still dreaming of European success as they prepare for their Champions League quarter-final.

Before that, Martinez and Villa turn their focus to a crucial FA Cup quarter-final against Preston on 30 March, while Fernandez has a few extra days of rest before Chelsea's showdown with Tottenham on 3 April.
